[. . . ] The motherboard will support Fast Page Mode (FPM), Extended Data Output (EDO), Burst Extended Data Output (BEDO) and Synchronous DRAM (SDRAM) DIMMs. Table 1 (SIMM Configurations) SIMM1 4MB 8MB 16MB 32MB 64MB SIMM2 4MB 8MB 16MB 32MB 64MB Total 8MB 16MB 32MB 64MB 128MB Table 2 (DIMM Configurations ) DIMM 1 Empty Empty Empty Empty Empty 8MB 8MB 8MB 8MB 8MB 8MB 16MB 16MB 16MB 16MB 16MB 16MB 32MB DIMM 2 8MB 16MB 32MB 64MB 128MB Empty 8MB 16MB 32MB 64MB 128MB Empty 8MB 16MB 32MB 64MB 128MB Empty Total 8MB 16MB 32MB 64MB 128MB 8MB 16MB 24MB 40MB 72MB 136MB 16MB 24MB 32MB 48MB 80MB 144MB 32MB DIMM 1 32MB 32MB 32MB 32MB 32MB 64MB 64MB 64MB 64MB 64MB 64MB 128MB 128MB 128MB 128MB 128MB 128MB DIMM 2 8MB 16MB 32MB 64MB 128MB Empty 8MB 16MB 32MB 64MB 128MB Empty 8MB 16MB 32MB 64MB 128MB Total 40MB 48MB 64MB 96MB 160MB 64MB 72MB 80MB 96MB 128MB 192MB 128MB 136MB 144MB 160MB 192MB 256MB Installation Installing the Spacer When installing the pentium motherboard (Baby AT), you need to insert the SPACER at the corner near the DIMM sockets to provide better support for connect future DRAM modules. Motherboard DIMM Socket Spacer Hardware Setup 12 Installing a DRAM Module To install a DRAM module, · Determine the desired amount of memory and acquire the necessary DRAM modules. · Note that a DRAM module has a polarity notch at one end so that it fits into a socket only one way. Align the DRAM module edge connector with the slot at the center of the socket. Position the DRAM module to the left of the socket and press the DRAM module edge connector firmly into the socket. · · If you have misaligned or only partially seated the module, remove the DRAM module gently and reinstall it. Warning: Turn system power off before installing and removing any device, otherwise you'll cause the system damage. Installing the Processor For easy installation of the CPU, it is recommended that you remove all Cards in PCI slots first. · · Match pin 1 of the CPU with pin 1 of the CPU socket. The pin 1 corner of the CPU socket is designated by a small triangle printed on the motherboard. Carefully insert the CPU into the CPU socket and move the metal arm downward to replace it in its original position. Change any jumper settings as detailed in the manual. The small circle marked on the top of the CPU designates the pin 1 corner. If a heat sink is attached and covers the top of the CPU, identify the pin 1 corner by turning the CPU over. Locate the small gold finger that extends from one corner of the large central square portion of the CPU. The gold finger points towards pin 1, which is also uniquely identified by a square pad. Positioning the CPU incorrectly in the socket can permanently damage the CPU and the computer when you turn on the system. Warning: There is a fan attached the CPU to prevent the overheating, please ensure that the fan can operate. Otherwise the CPU can overheat and cause damage to both CPU and motherboard. Technical Reference Booklet 13 BIOS SETUP This chapter discusses Award's Setup Program built into the ROM BIOS. The Setup Program allows users to modify the basic system configuration. This special information is then stored in battery-backed RAM, which retains the setup information when the power is turned off. Starting Setup The Award BIOS is immediately activated when you turn on the computer. The BIOS reads the system information contained in the CMOS and begins the process of checking out the system and configuring it. When it finishes, the BIOS will seek an operating system on one of the disks and then launch and turn control over to the operating system. By pressing <Del> immediately after switching the system on, or 2. By pressing the <Del> key when the following message appears briefly at the bottom of the screen during the POST (Power On Self Test ) Press DEL to enter SETUP If the message disappears before you can respond and you still wish to enter Setup, restart the system to try again by turning it OFF then ON or pressing the "RESET" button on the system case. You may also restart by simultaneously pressing the <Ctrl>, <Alt>, and <Delete> keys. If you do not press the keys at the correct time and the system does not reset, an error message will be displayed and you will again be asked to . . . PRESS F1 TO CONTINUE, DEL TO ENTER SETUP Getting Help Press F1 to pop up a small help window that describes the appropriate keys to use and the possible selections for the highlighted item. To exit the Help Window press <Esc> or the F1 key again. In Case of Problems If, after making and saving system changes with the Setup Program, you discover that your computer does not reset, use the Award BIOS defaults to override the CMOS settings. Main Menu Once you enter the Award BIOS CMOS Setup Utility, the Main Menu will appear on the screen. [. . . ] This section covers some very technical items and it is recommended that only experienced users should make any changes to the default settings. Integrated Peripherals The Integrated Peripherals Setup allows the user to configure the onboard IDE controller, floppy disk controller, the printer port and the serial ports. Supervisor/User Password Setting You can set either supervisor or user password, or both of them. The difference between them are: Supervisor Password : You can enter the Setup Program and change the options of the setup menus. User Password : You can enter the Setup Program but cannot change the options of the setup menus. When you select this function, the following message will appear at the center of the screen to assist you in creating a password. ENTER PASSWORD: Type the password, up to eight characters in length, and press<Enter>. The new password will clear the previously entered password from the CMOS memory. [. . . ]
